Caramelo is one of the cooperative’s core coffees, produced using pulped natural processing and built around the classic characteristics that make Brazilian coffees so dependable in espresso blends: notes of nuts, toffee and molasses, with a dense, creamy body. The coffee is sourced exclusively from cooperative members in the same region each year, helping deliver consistency from harvest to harvest while maintaining full traceability back to the producers involved. What drew us to SanCoffee goes beyond the cup profile. The cooperative was created with a long-term focus on quality, transparency and sustainability, and today works with growers across the region to improve access to speciality coffee markets and increase returns at farm level. SanCoffee estimates that around 85% of the FOB value returns to producers after export and logistics costs, and the cooperative has also invested heavily in environmental and social initiatives, including becoming carbon neutral in 2020 and supporting smaller growers through its Beyond Borders programme. Our Ethiopia component comes Taferi Kela in the Sidamo region. This particular lot was grown by community farmers in Taferi Kela and processed by Bette Buna at their washing station. Bette Buna literally translates to ‘House of Coffee’ and this company has been deeply rooted in the village for generations. With Bette Buna, the traceability is exceptional. Every lot specifically tracks and maps the people involved at each stage of production, from the people who picked the cherries to those who processed and milled the coffee. This level of transparency is almost unheard of in Ethiopia. It’s a classic washed Ethiopian coffee: First depulped, then fermented for 24-36 hrs depending on the temperature. The different ‘lots’ are different processing runs that happened over the course of the season. Show more
